Conversion hardware that turns a 16-inch floor tom into a kick drum. For drummers building a compact kit from parts they already own.

Product studyPearl JG16 Jungle Gig Floor Tom to Bass Drum Converter Kit

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Small stages and low-volume rooms where a full kick is too much
  • Cocktail, jazz, and acoustic gigs needing a smaller footprint
  • Repurposing a floor tom sitting unused in the closet

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Drummers wanting deep, full-size bass drum volume and low end
  • Anyone without a 16-inch floor tom to convert
  • Players needing a double pedal setup

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

Floor tom to bass drum converter

Legs and mounting hardware that lay the tom on its side and hold it stable against pedal impact.

Detail 02

Built for 16-inch toms

The 16-inch diameter sets your kick voice: punchier and higher pitched than a 20 or 22.

Detail 03

Kit format

Sold as a hardware package, not a drum. What you get is the mounting system, not a playable kick.

Detail 04

Around sixty dollars

Far cheaper than buying a compact bass drum, assuming the floor tom is already yours.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01No drum included. You supply the 16-inch floor tom
  2. 02No bass drum pedal included
  3. 03You may want a proper bass drum batter head for pedal impact

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Does this come with the drum?

No. This is the conversion hardware only. You provide a 16-inch floor tom, a bass drum pedal, and any head you want to swap in.

02Will it work with a 14- or 18-inch tom?

It is designed around a 16-inch floor tom. Other diameters risk poor leg fit and an unstable drum under pedal pressure.

03How does it sound compared to a real kick drum?

Tighter and higher pitched. A 16-inch shell has less air to move, so you get punch and note definition rather than deep low end.

04Does it work with non-Pearl floor toms?

Fit depends on your tom's lug and mount spacing. Check the hardware layout on your drum before ordering.
